i got one complete, geared w/ wheels for $20. In retrospect it may have only been worth $15 though...
Although that was a Schwinn Continental, they are almost the same bike.

This may be a dumb question or not, did this bike have chainrings that were riveted together? If so, how did you remove one of them? Looks like you are now down to one, I'd like to do that same thing. Nice bike.

Well, the way I did it was this: I found a washer that could slip over the kickstand but was smaller than the housing, so it rested against that circular plate.

If you don't have a washer as such, you can use a small nut or something against it.
After the pin is out, everything should slide out.
Good luck.

huh ... that really works. Thanks for the tip.
ps - anyone want to buy a kickstand from a 73 Continental?
